Find your iPhone easily with Apple Watch

Apple already has a “Find My iPhone” feature in place. But what if you misplaced it at home? Well, Apple has built into the Apple Watch the ability to “ping” your iPhone when it goes missing.  That’ll make it easier to find your phone the next time you drop it into the couch. We’re hoping the pinging is loud enough to be heard even there. That feature is said to be under Apple Watch’s Settings but we have to wait until the smartwatch ships before we can confirm that.

Apple to remove Jawbone and Nike FuelBand health trackers from stores to make way for Apple Watch

Months after discontinuing sales of the FitBit trackers, Apple is reportedly removing Jawbone Up24 and Nike FuelBand devices from its stores to make way for Apple Watch displays. Space is a finite resource in Apple Retail Stores, so it makes sense that Apple will jettison third party products in favour of their latest product. Retail Stores are expected to receive an overhaul to accomodate the unique display and selling of Apple Watch devices and straps. 

Dark Sky brings weather forecasts to your Apple Watch

If you want to be warned of upcoming rain, a new Apple Watch app will tap on your wrist ahead of time. Dark Sky, which will be available when Apple’s smartwatch comes out next month, is an app that focuses on hyperlocal short-term predictions (for example, incoming rain in 15 minutes). It will notify of these weather condition changes with things like a little chime and tap on the wrist. You will also get an overview of the current weather conditions and extended forecasts. The app will be free for those who already have the US$3.99 iOS app.
